Quick thread: I& #39;m deleting my Twitter ASAP. The reason I& #39;m going is I was nearly killed today by a driver obstructing a drop kerb & tactile paving. He drove at me as my carer photographed him, as I tried to negotiate a higher kerb because he was obstructing the drop kerb. @YPLAC

It& #39;s all well & good me raising awareness of #PavementParking & pavement obstructions but it& #39;s not worth me losing my life for. You can see the damage caused to my wheelchair & I& #39;m just grateful it wasn& #39;t me who was damaged, physically anyway, but my heart& #39;s still racing from it.

I& #39;m 85 & I just want to get out as much as possible before the next full lockdown. I enjoy the fresh air & have to travel a couple of miles to get it. My carer pushes me to a lovely park most days & I& #39;m in heaven sitting there watching the wildlife. I hope to continue doing that.

We& #39;re both going to be a lot more cautious in the future & not be as naive as in the past - taking photos of vehicles illegally obstructing our way. It& #39;s not worth the hassle. I& #39;ve had a few & #39;discussions& #39; in the past with drivers illegally parking but nothing like today.
